Michele,

The change in outlook that I experienced was definitely NOT something that happened overnight as soon as I finished treatment. It happened in small steps, month-by-month (even year-by-year) and only became really apparent to me as I had the benefit of time to reflect on what had occurred. I think that's one reason why I was drawn to the Rilke quote that's included in one of the previous posts.
